Honda CB500X Engine
The Honda CB500X is powered by the same 471cc parallel-twin engine seen on the CBR500R and CB500F. The motor has been tuned to produce 47.5PS at 8600rpm and 43Nm at 6500rpm, mated to a 6-speed transmission with an assist-and-slipper clutch. Honda says you could expect an average of 28.6kmpl via its 17.5-litre fuel tank. The bike employs a 41mm telescopic fork and a monoshock with preload adjustability at both ends. Braking duties are handled by a 310mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS. The seat height of 830mm is on the taller side, which could be problematic for shorter riders. The bike’s 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tyres come wrapped in dual-purpose tyres.
Honda CB500X Design

Honda will be bringing the CB500X to India in just two colours: Grand Prix Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic.
